“These birds breed in Kutch, Gujarat, and every year, they migrate to their feeding ground in Mumbai where they stay till June. However, some juvenile birds stay on in the area throughout the year. But during this time, the birds are at their best plumage and sometimes can be seen performing their courtship march, which is seen when a group of flamingos walk in sync with a jerking head movement to find their pair,” shares Asif Khan, associate officer with the programmes’ department of BNHS.

During the two-to-three-km walk, participants will be able to see other wetland species including the white-eared bulbul, green bee-eater, baya weaver, painted stork, and purple sunbird. One can also spot the brahminy kite, shaheen falcon, white-throated kingfisher,  and little cormorant.
